Disappointing when the villain is the only interesting character.
Unlikeable main leads (heads up their asses) and silly disagreements

This was a good, quick read. I like the author's writing style. She wrote her characters well and the story flowed nicely. I wouldn't mind reading more by her.

OMG this book was terrifying - and many trigger warnings for anyone who has been abused emotionally or physically.
Despite being super scared the whole time I did like it - the (sane) characters are imperfect and have to work for their relationships.

The suspense was real in this one. I really enjoyed reading this book, even though I had a bit of a hard time getting into it. Once I was past the halfway mark I just couldn’t stop reading.

This is the first book in the series. It is also the first book I read for this author and will not be the last :)
Mary Grace Winters suffered terribly from her abusive cop husband and knew there is no way to survival for her and her son except by running away and staging her own death.
Now seven years later as Caroline Stewart, she started to feel safe and considers risking her heart to love with the new Dr. Max Hunter that enters her life as her new boss. Both of them having pasts they are running away from and scars in body and soul.
But her past creeps up on her when her husband gets suspicious of her disappearance after all this time when new evidence arises suggesting that she and his son are alive. Now he wants his family back and will stop to nothing to accomplish that.
This was my first read by Karen Rose, and I loved it. I was gripped from the first page, had extreme trouble putting the book down. Such a thriller.
The characters were very likable and it really discussed a very important topic which is spouse abuse. You could feel Caroline's emotions and reactions while reading.. Plus the romance that blossemed between her and Dr. Hunter was so romantic it left me starry eyed :)
I also loved David Hunter, Max's brother.. He is so full of humor and you could feel the brotherly love shared between the brothers.
Dana Dupinsky is Caroline's best friend, through good and bad she is there for her, wonderful character.
It's so hard to keep my mouth shut and not write any spoilers. But i highly recommend this book for all those romance/suspence/thriller lovers out there. Really, dont miss out on this!
I will soon start her second book in the series "Have You Seen Her"?

Wrong subject for me; wife abuser.
And the new boss who within a half hour of meeting the main character is sizing up her breasts and wondering how soon he can take her out for dinner. Really?? I have never been so happy to not finish a book.
